disable Flip 3D

How can I disable Flip 3D? I never use it and I don't want to expend the
memory to maintain it.

Simply don't use it, the graphics are already in memory so it doesn't cost
anything.

Re: disable Flip 3D

Simple: delete the Flip 3D icon in your quick launch, never press Windows
key + Tab. If you want to take it even further, simply enable the Windows
Classic theme.

Re: disable Flip 3D

Thank you Andre Da Costa for your post. A few hours after my post, I
subsequently chose Windows Vista Basic under color schemes. Your post
confirmed my actions. Thank you.
